MARITIME UK AWARDS 2025 PROGRAMME
THURSDAY 26TH JUNE | PORT OF DOVER
WELCOME
On behalf of Maritime UK Chair, Tom Boardley and Chief Executive, Chris Shirling-Rooke.
We’re delighted to welcome you to Dover to celebrate the maritime sector, and to showcase the pivotal role of the coastal communities driving a sector that adds £116 billion a year into the economy and supports over 1.1 million jobs.
On Thursday 26th June, the Maritime UK Awards will bring more than 400 professionals from across the breadth of the maritime industries of the United Kingdom to celebrate amazing achievements made by individuals and organisations over the last year. This unmissable fixture in the yearly maritime calendar will be hosted onboard a DFDS vessel in the Port of Dover.
We are thrilled that these are the biggest Maritime UK awards to date with more category entrants than ever before. Taking place within the Short Straits Coastal Powerhouse Summit, which has brought together two days of incredible events for our vital sector.
Thank you to all our sponsors without whom none of the events would have been possible.
